WHO WE ARE

The Neck and Back Pain Center is a collaboration of specialists -- from across the Kingsbrook Centers of Excellence -- who work together to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve quality of life for their patients.

The Center is led by physicians who specialize in rehabilitation medicine and pain management. Their team of colleagues include physical and occupational therapists, neurologists, neuro-psychologists, physician assistants, diagnostic radiologists, as well as board-certified neurosurgeons with specialized fellowship training in the most advanced surgical techniques.

TREATMENTS WE OFFER

Rehabilitation and Integrative Medicine approaches alleviate neck and back pain with a variety of conservative and complementary treatments, including:

•physical and occupational therapy that include modalities such as heat, cold, massage, ultrasound, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

•integrative medicine approaches that include acupuncture, guasha, yoga, and hypnotherapy.

Interventional Pain Procedures are often performed using ultrasound or x-ray to deliver the therapy to the exact source of pain. These techniques are safe, take just a few minutes to perform, and typically involve a local anesthetic, a low dose of injectable steroid, or comfortable sedation. Pain procedures include:

•Epidural Steroid Injections

•Medial Branch Blocks

•Facet Joint Injections

•Radiofrequency Nerve Ablations

•Peripheral Nerve Blocks

•Muscle and Joint Injections

•Botox Injections for management of neck or limb spasticity, and for prevention of headaches in adult migraine patients

Neurosurgery. Our board-certified neurosurgeons use advanced, proven, minimally-invasive techniques, including computer-guided surgical neuro-navigation, endoscopy, and microsurgery. These techniques significantly reduce post-operative discomfort and recovery time.
